Friendly Persuasion (1956)

The story of a family of Quakers in Indiana in 1862. Their religious sect is strongly opposed to violence and war.

I saw Friendly Persuasion as a teenager in the mid-1950s, when it was first released. Generally liked the movie then, though felt it took its time to get going. Seeing it again 60 years on, I was thoroughly bored - nothing much happened and what did was largely unbelievable. The actors also couldn't do much with their roles. My wife, who also saw it as a teenager, gave up 20 minutes into the film, and went away to wash a large stack of dishes. It's a joke that the film won so many Oscar nominations given the dreary writing, direction and performances. Friendly Persuasion, thee I do not love.

One of the finest examples of movie making. Good foundation film for a family discussion of how to live "in the world" and stay true to the standards you want to live.

This movie is just fantastic from beginning to end. The best scene is when 3 man-hungry sisters try to gang-rape Tony Perkins. A Delight. ;-)
